Cookie Policy
Last updated: 14 February 2025
At nytheravox, we use tracking technologies to help our platform work better for you. This policy explains what these technologies do, why we need them, and how you can manage your preferences. We've kept things straightforward because nobody wants to wade through pages of legal terminology.
What Are Cookies Anyway?
Cookies are small text files that get stored on your device when you visit nytheravox.com. They help the site remember things about your visit - like your login status or language preference. Think of them as digital sticky notes that help our platform recognize you when you return.
Most websites use them. They've been around since the mid-1990s, and while the technology has evolved, the basic concept remains the same. Some cookies live on your device temporarily (session cookies) and disappear when you close your browser. Others stick around longer (persistent cookies) to remember your preferences across multiple visits.
The Different Types We Use
Essential Cookies
These keep the site functional. Without them, you wouldn't be able to log in, access secure areas, or use our financial modeling tools properly. We don't ask permission for these because the platform literally can't work without them. They handle things like session management and security verification.
Functional Cookies
These remember your choices - like whether you prefer dark mode, which dashboard layout you use, or your default currency settings. They make nytheravox.com feel more personalized. You can disable these, but you'll need to reset your preferences each time you visit.
Analytics Cookies
We use these to understand how people interact with our platform. They tell us which features get used most, where users encounter difficulties, and how we can improve the experience. All data is aggregated and anonymized - we're looking at patterns, not tracking individuals.
Performance Cookies
These help us monitor site speed and technical performance. If pages are loading slowly for users in certain regions or on specific devices, these cookies help us identify and fix those issues. They contribute to keeping nytheravox.com running smoothly.

Other Tracking Technologies
Beyond cookies, we use a few other methods to make nytheravox.com work better. Web beacons (tiny transparent images) help us understand email engagement when we send you notifications about your account. Local storage holds larger amounts of data directly in your browser - this is useful for caching your financial models so they load faster.
We also use session storage for temporary data that gets wiped when you close your browser tab. This is helpful for managing complex workflows in our modeling tools without unnecessarily storing data long-term.
All these technologies serve practical purposes. We're not in the business of collecting data for its own sake - everything we track helps make the platform more useful or more secure.
Managing Your Cookie Settings
You have several options for controlling how cookies work on your device. The simplest approach is through your browser settings. Every major browser lets you view, manage, and delete cookies. You can also set rules about which sites can use cookies and which types are allowed.
Chrome Users
Go to Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data. From there you can block all cookies, block third-party cookies, or clear existing cookies. You can also set exceptions for specific sites.
Firefox Users
Navigate to Options → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data. Firefox offers enhanced tracking protection that blocks many cookies by default. You can customize the level of protection based on your preferences.
Safari Users
Open Preferences → Privacy. Safari blocks third-party cookies by default and includes intelligent tracking prevention. You can adjust these settings or clear your browsing history to remove stored cookies.
Edge Users
Access Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies and site data. Edge gives you granular control over cookie behavior and lets you see which sites have stored data on your device.
What Happens When You Block Cookies
If you decide to disable all cookies, you'll notice some changes. The most obvious is that you'll need to log in every time you visit nytheravox.com - we won't be able to remember your authentication status. Your preferences won't be saved, so you'll see default settings each time.
Some of our more advanced features might not work properly either. Financial models that rely on cached data will load more slowly. Multi-step processes might lose your progress between pages. It's definitely your right to block cookies, but it does impact functionality.
Most people find that allowing essential and functional cookies while blocking analytics provides a good balance between privacy and usability.
Updates to This Policy
We review this policy periodically and update it when we make changes to how we use tracking technologies. If we introduce new types of cookies or significantly alter our practices, we'll update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
For significant changes that affect your privacy, we'll notify you directly via email or through a prominent notice on nytheravox.com. But honestly, our approach to cookies is pretty stable - we're focused on using them to improve your experience, not constantly adding new tracking mechanisms.
Data Retention and Your Rights
Different cookies stay on your device for different lengths of time. Session cookies expire as soon as you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain until they reach their expiration date or until you manually delete them.
- You can request to see what data we've collected through cookies
- You can ask us to delete specific data associated with your account
- You can opt out of analytics cookies while keeping functional ones
- You can withdraw consent for non-essential cookies at any time
- You can export your preferences and settings data
Under UK data protection regulations, you have strong rights around personal data. While most cookie data is technical rather than personal, anything that can identify you falls under these protections.
